My equipment is Kef 104 /2's (with a Kef Kube external line level cross over currently not being used)
Audio Research LS 15
Classe Ca 2200 Power amp.
Yamaha 650 HT reciever.
Velodyne DLS-3750R sub
Levinson transport and Sonic Fronteirs DAC
The Velodyne sub has a variable cross over. Which is now set to off because the HT Reciver is managing the cross over point for HT material.
The reciever has a lfe output which I am using now for HT.
In two channel mode... I just switch inputs on the LS15 and leave the HT equpment off.
So, from what I understand I could do this.
I set the yamaha to large mains and No sub.
Ditch the LFE output to LFE line level input.
connect the sub by going from the power amp to the speaker input left and right of the sub and then from the speaker outputs to the KEF 104's. Then set the cross over on the sub to 120 Hz. Then run the reciever's auto calibration with the main LR channel set to 12 oclock on the volume control. This calibrates all of the surround and .1 channels.
This way I get the benfit of using the sub for music with the bass limited kef's and keep the LFE info from HT material going to the sub as well using the yamaha's processor.
Am I off base here?
Thanks for the reply's
